being placed in barrel and dumped there
from without some difficulty Besides,
standing rule of the street cleaning depart
ment is for the driver to open and examine
any and all packages, bags or boxes that
are tied up and have a suspicious look about
them.
The supposition among ali the men is that
while one of the drivers was away from his
cart, probably getting a drink before the
saloons closed Saturday night, some mother,
or probably some one paid to get rid of the
child, stealthily slipped the basket into the
cart. When the driver returned he unsus-
piciously proceeded with his work and
threw barrel after barrel Of ashes into the
cart until it was full, when he took it to the
dump where it was subsequently found and
the waif so miraculously rescued. Fully
hundred persons along the route through
Twelfth and adjacent streets where the carts
passed Saturday night were questioned yes
terday concerning the disappearance OF
baby, or as to their having seen anyone
with the basket, but no one seems to have
any recollection of such circumstance.
The baby was last evening sent to the
office of the society," at Eleventh street and

IN MENfORIANT.


One year ago to-day little ANNA BELLE, young
est daughter of DR.. and 8lrs. Samuel 4. White,
departed this life, aged year, II months and
20 days.
1t was with deeply sorrowing hearts, known
only to those who have suffered like bereave-
ment, that the fond parents consigned to the
dark and lonely grave the form OF this precious
little darling
Stricken in the very midst of perfect and 70
bust health, made the blow only the more crush
ing;
deep anguish of that fearful parting, and when
we remember that this was the fourth time
those parents were called upon 10 give their
darlings up, can we wonder that their hearts
were well-pigh broken. The following lines
were written soon after her death, and are af1ec
tionately intcribed 10 her memory:
Smooth the bright ringlets of beautiful hair,
Gently away from the marble brow,
So placid in death, and so wondrous fair,
Yet so cold and white in its beauty now;
The snowy hands Wen cross on her breast,
With only pure white rosebud there;
The dear little feet have at last found rest,
That went pattering everywhere
And her lovely eyes, so brown and bright,
That-twinkled in babyhood's happy glee,
Are closed forever, and all is night,
10 those beautiful eyes as well as to me;
Her sweet little lips, that with me have smiled,
Are white and cold as the driven snow,
That kiss and kiss with an anguish wild,
While my heart lies crushed with the fearful
blow.
Oh Heavenly Father Thy Christening rod,
Seems more than my broken heart can bear;
For strength is my feTvent prayer to God,
That yield to Him this idol dear,
This sweet little one, loved with love,
That made ME regard her as all my own;
That worshiped instead of my God above,
Believing her mine and mine alone.
oh, Father, In mercy remember me,
And change this hard and rebellious will;
May the love that gave her be given to Thee,
May bid this murmuring heart be still;
Oh, may remember this darling mine,
Is saved through the blood of Thine only Son;
May tr1lstingly yield Thee that which is Thine,
And faithfully whisper, Thy toil be done"

A FRENCH CHESTNUT.
Curious Story of Tree in the Garden
of the Tuilerie9.


of the Tuileries.
There is a curious story about chestnut
tree in the garden of the Tuileries, which a
Paris paper has just recalled. 1t is known
as the Chestnut of the Goth of March" and
the peculiarly about it is that it always puts
out its foliage before any other tree in the
garden. This year, however, it has violated
all its traditions; its leaves did not appear
until after many of its neighbors had begun
TO show their foliage, and it is this fact which
recalls the following story: One day when
Louis XVIII. was talking with one of his
courtiers, Count Limoleon, about the
weather, the latter imprudently alluded to
the famous chestnut tree. "What is the
chestnut tree of the Goth of MarchT inquired
the King. Il hear some one speak of it
every year" The Count saw that he had
made bad mistake, but tried to repair it.
'Sire," he replied. every one avoids speak
ing to your Majesty of this chestnut tree,
because it is a souvenir of one of the most
unhappy episodes of your reign 'What
is that p asked the King. 1.-The Both of March
is the date on which the usurper Bonaparte,
after his escape from the Isle of Elba,
arrived in Paris and took up his residence
in the palace of the Tuileries" "Well |
know that replied the King; "but what
has it TO do with the chestnut treer' The
followers of Bonaparte observed that on
that day there was one tree in the garden
which was covered with leaves, while the
others had none at all, and the mob from
Paris came to see the tree which it was said put
forth its leaves in honor of the usurper,n
well, :" said the King, this merely proves
that trees are like men in some respects:
they do not adj have the same opinions
And did you say that since my second res
toration this particular tree had continued
to have leaves on the Doth of Marchr YES,
sire, il is truen The reply seemed to
annoy the King, and, although he said moth
ing about it, the courtiers decided it would
be best to cut down the Bonapartist tree
and substitute one that was more proper
and loyal in its habits. But what happensl
The year passed, and as The King did not
say anything more about the tree it was be-
lieved by the courtiers that he had forgot
ten all about it, They were very much as
tonished, therefore, when on the Goth of
March, 1924, the King, who never went to
the garden Of the Tuileries, expressed wish
TO see the famous chestnut tree. Their
amazement was extreme, however, when
they arrived at the garden and found the
tree in full bloom, with even more leaves
and flowers than before. The modification
may be imagined. The KING, however,
treasured them by remarliing, after ne had
taken a good look at the tree, "Well, let il
remain and represent the Bonapartist
opinions it will So long as this is the
only thing which conspires against us the
Bourbous have little TO fear" The tree Is
still in the garden of the Tuileries, but it is
not the one which bloomed on the Goth of
March, 1915, when the Emperor returned TO
Paris

A ghost has been performing strange
antics in the old brick school house on Green
street, in Middletown, Conn, and the citi-
zens are being much wrought up over the
matter. The phantom is supposed to be
that of old Richard Hyland, the eccentric
and whose spirit now fits through the
empty rooms of the school house at night
and lights them up with unearthly light.
People who live near the school house have
seen the old fellow poke his grim visage
through the windows at night and then, re-
firing to the tops of the desks, dance an un-
canny war dance in the glare of ghostly
school any longer, and the affair is to be in
vestigated.

David Pingree's Land Speculation.

From the LeDiston (1fe.) Journal, May H.
An Augusta lumberman tells the follow
ing story of Sam Smith, one of the best
known lumbermen in the Penobscot region,
forty years ago, and who knew about all
there was to be known of the Maine forest.
Smith failed and was left without a cent,
He disappeared soon after and for eight
months was not heard from. One day he
appeared in Bangor in a threadbare and
ragged suit of clothes, with an old white
hat on his head, and a general air of depres-
sion. There was a big land sale that day in
which eleven townships, all heavily wooded,
were sold by the State. A pool had been
lumbermen TO buy the land for a
song. One of them suggested that Sam
Smith be invited to join the number, but
the rest laughed at the idea of taking a street
loafer, what would be called a tramp now
days, into their counsels. The bidding be-
gan, all Of the offers being ridiculously low.
A smile went round the company as Smith
lounged up and bid slightly above the others
Let it GO" said the pool men, she can't
pay dollar" The eleven townships were
accordingly knocked down TO him. But
Sam soon showed them that he had the best
OF the joke. From an inside pocket of his
old coat he pulled out the s., 900 required TO
be paid down and offered to pay more.
This placed him on his feet again II after
ward transpired that Dave Pingree, of
Salem, was backing him and they realized
over 81 100000 on the lumber taken off the
900 acres in those eleven townships.
Mrs. Gordon's little boy, of Cairo, ILL.,,
acted strangely one morning a week ago
and was put TO bed. Suddenly he called to
his mother and said: Papa has come back"
THAT is foolish talk, Charley" said his
mother; your papa is dead and cannot
come back. but he's sitting on your chair
lirious, Mrs. Gordon sent for a doctor, but
while the messenger was absent the little
fellow said: Papa tells me that John won't
find the doctor at home, and that you must
now kiss me good-by." A moment later the
child became unconscious and soon died,
while the messenger ON his return reported
that the physician was out of town.
